I've never heard of these missing boys before.

An American link about this case. It's very irritatingly presented with problems moving from one page to the next but it does raise some interesting points suggesting why the case didn't receive as much publicity as it might have done.

In case anyone notices that this topic has lost a lot of pages, I've transferred to their own topics the cases of the Irish girl Mary Boyle and the Australian girl who was thought could possibly be Madeleine.

Will stick this one here.

I wonder if any of the thoughts going through her head related to a paedophile abductor!

A happy ending to the story.

A bizarre one but with a happy outcome:

ETA - not sure why the link has loads of numbers in it like that but it is safe and does work.

The link itself does not work, but at the bottom of the page that you go to, which says that the story does not exist, there is a link to the story that does work.

When I tried to copy and paste the URL I got exactly the same link as Andrew has posted, so I think the quotes in the title are causing problems!

Strange. It did work when checked it first time. Just checked it again and now it doesn't.

It's on here anyway:

That link should work.

Strange one this - police looking for missing 5 year old seen walking alone and a mother frantically searching for her.

Then we have this ITV update, most odd..

Police update after sightings of young girl in Redcar

Cleveland Police received a call on Friday morning from a concerned member of the public. He said he had seen a young girl aged around 5-years-old walking along the Coast Road in Redcar.

Police in Redcar have carried out thorough investigations and searches however they have now scaled back these investigations, pending any new information coming to light.

There have been no reports of missing children in the Redcar area or any other calls relating to a missing girl

So is this a hoax??

It sounds like a hoax.

Did anyone speak to the woman? If not, how was it known that she was searching for her daughter?

Sadly it Looks like they may have found the remains of Natalee Holloway after 12 years missing. I have watched various documentaries and her mother Beth doing all she could to find her, and she has hosted a programme which was about other missing people.


Natalee Holloway: Human remains find could end 12-year mystery of missing graduate

DNA tests are being conducted to see if the mystery of Natalee Holloway, who vanished in Aruba in 2005, can finally be resolved.

There is something about the phrase "last seen with a convicted murderer" that says this was solved very quickly, the hard part was finding the body and getting proof.

The REAL strange thing is, that presumably her father and a detective found [just before a doc airing early next week ...], what could be human remains, but then exported it out of the country, instead involving / turning over to local police and forensic scientists. In fact, they could be prosecuted for that ...

This lady just seems to have vanished.......


'I’m desperate'
Missing mum Karen Brown fails to show up after heartbroken hubby pleaded her to meet him at London toy shop

Jock Brown, 48, urged his wife Karen to meet him at Hamleys in the city’s Regent Street after a possible sighting of her was captured on CCTV at the store



MISSING mum Karen Brown failed to show up after her heartbroken hubby pleaded for her to meet him at a London toy shop.
Jock Brown, 48, urged his wife Karen to meet him at Hamleys in the city’s Regent Street after a possible sighting of her was captured on CCTV at the store.

Karen, 47, vanished from their Clydebank home on October 14, and took a bus to the capital.
Speaking outside the store, shattered Jock said:”Karen is desperately missed by myself and my daughters.

I’ve been with her 30-plus years – her boyfriend, then her husband – and I’m desperate to have her back.”
“She is missing her granddaughter growing up.
“The house is not the same without her. It has been a struggle.”

And he urged her: “We need you home. Come home for us Karen.”
Cops confirmed they are still investigating the disappearance, and appealed to Karen to contact them after the toy shop disappointment yesterday.
Karen was last seen by hubby Jock and daughter Chloe the night before she vanished after she finished working a shift at Asda.

By the time Jock woke up the next day, she was gone.
Security camera footage captured Karen getting on a MegaBus to London from Glasgow’s Buchanan Street at 8.20am that morning. And worried Jock called the police later that day when he expected her back after work.

Karen wore a pink fleece and white trainers when she was last seen and was carrying an Asda bag.
Detectives spotted a woman wearing similar clothes – plus a padded burgundy jacket – was seen on cameras at Hamleys on Tuesday, October 17.

Daughters Chloe, 12, and Jemma, 22 appeared with granddaughter Millie to join Jock at a previous press conference to appeal for Karen to come home.
A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “Karen did not make contact with her husband whilst he was in London today.
“Our search for her is continuing and we would again appeal to her to get in touch, at least with police, to let us know she is okay.”

A strange case.

So it wasn't definite that the woman at Hamleys was her anyway.

It's sure though that she did get on a bus to London; it seems a clear case of she's had enough of her present life and wants to move on.

She's been found safe!

I was at uni nearby when this went down, but can't remember hearing any theories about what happened.

Twenty-five years on, I've still no idea - aside from being convinced she didn't drown in the lake.

A strange sounding case here.

Presumably someone reported seeing a child being put in a car unwillingly but if no parents have come forward to say their child is missing, then it's likely to be a false alarm.

Yep, it seems to be as I said.
